2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade

This American tradition for over 80 years is a way to kick-off the holiday season. Celebrities from stage, screen, sports and more will ride in classic cars or elaborately decorated floats. Bands from California, Indiana, Connecticut and Kansas will perform standards to help spectators get in the holiday mood. 

Brilliantly adorned equestrians units will dazzle the audience as well. There is sure to be something for all walks of like, both young and old. For the young, and even the young at heart, Santa Claus will make his appearance at the end of the parade signifying its grand finale.
Parade runs through the Heart of Hollywood! Starting on Hollywood Blvd at Orange, the U-shaped parade route will travel east to Vine, south on Vine to Sunset Boulevard and west on Sunset, back to Orange.
